Hello, I have worked for a brief time on editing the scenarios Akkula made. I have intended to make a "Hard Mode" for all campaigns present, as well as adding some features to every scenario and additional tasks to the scenarios. I haven't finished the campaign fully, and it is in it's infancy, however if anyone wants to play it you can use the link at the end of the post. Note that I have tested the hard mode but only up until Mission 09 of NATO, I couldn't do more testing, nor more precise changes in the maps after the landings in the North Sea due to a constraint in time.
The things I have added in this are:
- Units with unique heroes on both sides
- Units that will spawn to counterattack the player to keep any player on their tip toes
- Exit hexes in every scenario
- Small unique tasks that will reward the player with prestige or with an another special reward if fulfilled
I have also made a unique scenario that I unfortunately haven't been able to test fully. I will keep that scenario a surprise. As said before I haven't been able to test them fully and work on them as much as I have wanted to, I have planned much more but for now I wanted to release what I have already made, to receive feedback, and I do hope understand that this is in it's infancy and not even close to the final project.
All of this is approved by Akkula himself.
To enable to Hard mode for the NATO campaign, copy paste the files from the Data file in the Hard NATO folder.
For the scenario copy paste it into the scenarios folder and it should be present in the custom scenarios, and copy paste the UI folder. It has only one file and it isn't necessary.
Note - you can only play as NATO in the scenario

As said before this is in it's infancy and first time I created something for this game, hope you enjoy it and best regards. When I get the time I will refine this with what I have planned originally and make more for the fans.
